Jeremy Katz ca377f5294 Bump timeout to five minutes since people could be using encrypted root 2008-12-16 14:25:06 -05:00
Jeremy Katz eb25ff7a27 Support root on LUKS (dm-crypt)
Support having root on LUKS with the password prompting handled by plymouth.
This requires ensuring our input is from /dev/console and also requires that
we import vol_id info about all block devices rather than ignoring dm devs
(which is what the persistent storage rules do by default)

Jeremy Katz f39a104630 Add some modules
dm-crypt support requires that we have some modules, so add some basic
support for copying over a module tree for testing

Jeremy Katz 0c70846e5d Add plymouth support
Add basic support for the use of plymouth in the new initrd world.  Also
includes a hack at the moment to install from a local plymouth tree to make
testing easier

Jeremy Katz ca9f625917 Some debugging helpers
Install terminfo files so that less is useful.  Also, timeout mounting
the rootfs so that we can debug better

Jeremy Katz 7a18688c32 Add the basics for LVM support
For LVM, we need to do activation of the volume group within the initrd.
Stick lvm tools into the initrd as well as a (basic and stupid) udev rule
to run vgchange -ay.  Ultimately we want to get a better rule for this into
udev proper

Jeremy Katz 35c5d61b82 Various fixes to make things work; also listen to root=
Apparently what I had committed was broken.  This fixes some pieces up
and also adds (basic) support for using root=

Jeremy Katz ec9315e562 Initial commit
First pass at a new initrd implementation.  Right now, it's a very simple
/init and we use nash's switchroot command via switch_root.  The idea is to
get a switchroot binary into util-linux that can be used instead

generate.sh will let you generate an initrd image.  Note that the generator
is intentionally super simple right now and is an area that will need a lot
of work once we're happier with how the /init process runs
